Warcraft Caption Contest!
Blizzard has recently announced a screenshot caption contest for US subscribers - apologies, however, to players in Florida and Rhode Island, who aren't eligible. However, for those of you who are, submit a caption for one of the provided screenshots for a chance at winning a PSP and a memory stick.As with every contest Blizzard holds, not everyone is eligible, and there's always a wave of complaints when this is discovered. Whenever this issue is brought up on the forums, community managers tend to inform players that different states have different laws and regulations governing contests, which makes it difficult for Blizzard to some areas.
